The MonittwrCpntailis' a letter- from General Su-• cRiT, at Saragossa, dated 31st O&ober. It gives .an. account of operations in this quarter, from the i 3th of October. On the 26th, Brigadier VILLA CaM i with 7000 men, was attacked at N. S. de la Fretneudad, a very strOn& position: 'I be battle lasted three hour-, and the Spaniards fought with the weatvst broyery. They had fortified themselves in a ino,insiery which was taken by assault. •On the 30th the eneiny passed the river near Torre de Sere and attacke .; a Spanish camp, which was surroundedi' they tLeu pu,hed within half a league of Lerida. Last night Spanish agd Partuguese Papers to the ist ult. were received. The armies are nearly 'all it their former posi ions, except that the Duke del rAttaue has been uHer the necessity of falling back from-Salamanca, in consequence of the French Ge neral MARCHAND having .received considerable re inforcements, We this morning eceived Letters frorp Barbadoes of the 527 rnher. They eintraditi the report of an intended attack on Guadalottpe. The .alarm excited among the Opposition Writers by the union of the Marquis WEI.j.ESLEY with ha, •,,o bewildered them, L that they are. wholly destitute of consistency in their attack, and, indeed, know not what to say, except in throwing out 'rvstel. • hints and obscure surmises.—Tht objel, howeyer, which they appear to have princi in view, at present, is to raise a belief in the pubic mine, , that tbougb the 'Marquis may agreed - to jt,in the .Administration, yet that, since. 'bh; aril al, he has had some 'communications with Ins friends at bonle, which hate tended to (cake him repent his hasty concurience, and that it Would by no means be surprising if he were to withdraW from 'all \connection with Ministers.-- One of these writers, indeed, is not satisfied ,with ,circulating such silly.rumOursi but, in the chief or gan ,of,the Party„-tte'mpts this day to show that , the would be. no accession of force to nisfration, observing, that. " Mr. PER'CEVAL is w , .11 ?Ware that he gains no intrinsic strength, either of wisdom in Council, or 'of eloquence in Parlia mtnt, from the public association of his Lordship. The Government enjoyed before all his -numerical force, and his intellect the Noble ,Marquis cannot -early with' him into the Cabinet, for Mr. SYDENHAM remains at the Doard . of Excise," It be . supposed, from this - pitiful at tack upon the nirquis, that his character and talents are wholly unknown to the public; that he had never been heard in the Senate, that he had rendered us no service kn the East, and that indeed be is a person of "no mark or likelihood:" The Opposition writers do nut deny that Mr. PERCBV4kL has discernment, and yet they assert that he has been very solicitous to induce the bilwquis to . take . • part in Administration: But surely if the Mar tiuis were such a person as he is above . described, he be'nO great - acquisition to, the Cabinet As to the attempt to represent tdr. SYDaSaAM, a Gen- Otantii of highly respeclahle talents anti, charatter, ;IS - the person upon - how the Marquis entirely de. _ • . - pends for knowledge and counsel; it is almost too ridiculous for notice. ,It is-very probable that if Mr. SYDENLIAM were to be removed from- `‘ the Board of t:xeise," and to obtain some official" app . ' ointment • in the diretliop of affairs, he. would at once lest; all his intellectual creall with the party, whatever - his qualifications might be; arid thaw become the Object of censure or derision 'with those very writers who now rep esent him as the great stay . and prop. Marciuis But all this nonsense, in the Opposition Prints Is hardly worth . notice, except as it chews - to what Miserable shifts the Party are ;educed, in order to depreciate an Adnkinistration which we are persuad- F.d will labour ipit4 great ability, as well as . zeal, to the public sFrvice, weed who, if they ,do not pretend to " all the talents: in the country, Will pretnote interests , by industry, perseverance, knowledge, and good faith.

NEW-YORK, Ocr iB. DEMOCRATIC SCURRILITY.--From the moment th e appointment of Mr. Jackson, to succeed Mr. Erskine, was known in this country, the dernocrah tic Papers -have teemed with the most scurrilous' abuse. of that Minister and of the nation he repre sents. Before his arrival, every effort was made to prejudice the President to refuse to acknowledge Itim.as a foreign Minister. And even now, notwith standing the Executive has resisted their efforts and received Mr. Jackson with customary civility, yet the same system of slander is continued in pperition. The same stream of calumny is poured forth,.to the disgrace of our national charatier, and the: regret and disgust of all decent men in the community. What obje& con the democrMic Editors have to induce them to proceed in this scurrilous career ? Is it to disgust and irritate the accredited Miiiister and the Government that sent him Is it, to confuse and distra& our own Administration ? Is it to throw obstruCtiono in 'the way to as arnieable'and hOn'onr able.adjustinent of difficulties, and thus invOlve.onr country in s a ruinot:s and exterminating war -Whatever may 13. e, their objet, their coodutl, at a Moment like the present, •deserves and will receive the indigoativn of the pubic.
